Poor Joe Rogan!



A group of researchers evaluating the effect of repurposed drugs against COVID-19 found that oral antiparasitic medication ivermectin did not improve patient outcomes in the largest trial of its kind to date, The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday.

Ivermectin marketed by Merck (NYSE:MRK) as Stromectol for parasitic infestations sparked controversy during the pandemic prompting the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to issue warnings against its excessive use.

“There was no indication that ivermectin is clinically useful,” said Edward Mills, a lead investigator of the trial and a professor of health sciences at Canada’s McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario.
 
Van Dutch Bros is $58 -!

Man we blew that one I feel we were ont op of the earn story and what happened? Market moves I guess-- how did we miss this it was lower before right?
 
Last week was weird. If you follow the market closely as we do then you know it was unusual to see the amount of announced insider buys as we had. I could list ten or twenty names on the same day I feel... It feels slightly orchestrated.

Some of these are for not so much money or shares. So If I'm a CEO and I have say 3.5 mil tied up in shares of a stk that trades at $3 and I make a grand announcement that I've purchased $10,000 worth of shares and the stk jumps 9%.... I'm doing that for me. For my larger share count that is down...

We have to be careful here- Unusual to see and it means something more...

This is a larger purchase but...

Shoe Carnival aims to add 10 plus new stores during FY22 06:35 SCVL During fiscal 2021, the company completed a multi-year store productivity improvement program. The result of this strategic initiative is that all ongoing stores generated positive cash flow during fiscal 2021. The full fleet productivity is strong, generating sales of over $300 per square foot, net cash provided by operating activities of $148 million, and free cash flow of $117 million. As such, the company has completed the program and expects limited, if any, store closings for the next several years. Based on customer response to our store modernization program, the Company has accelerated capital investments, and now aims to complete the rollout of the program across the fleet by the end of fiscal 2024. Approximately 20 percent of the store remodels were completed by the end of fiscal 2021, and the Company expects 50 percent of the store remodels to be completed by the end of fiscal 2022. In December, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Shoe Station, Inc., a leading Southeast retailer of footwear and accessories. As of March 16, 2022, the Company has completed back-office integrations approximately nine months ahead of schedule and expects to transition into store growth later in 2022. The Company's strategic plan is to accelerate store count expansion during each of the next three years, and aims to add 10 plus new stores during fiscal 2022, over 20 new stores in fiscal 2023, and over 25 new stores annually by fiscal 2024.

AJRD is a very difficult stock. In fact the sector defense... can be tricky.

I've owned this stock probably three times over the years and never made very much... It's frustrating like LDOS but it's better... Russia has now fired TWO HYPERSONIC missals at Ukraine.

Last year I was on the Hypersonic train!! I thought it might be an investing theme.. it wasn't.

I got lucky when a buyout materialized for Aeorjet and we made some $'s but it was a bad bid and big let down.. stk might of sold off on the news I remember hating it for a while... But

Hey I got on their website earlier... the Nikes they sell are junk. None of the Jordon line. The Vans you can get cheaper on AMZN with next day free w/Prime. The Timberlands they have are very size restricted.

I see why they bought Shoe Station though, that's a good store.

But why are they adding 25 new locations by 2024? How are they financing those Stoney? These aren't little kiosks like BROS coffee shops, these are multi-million dollar stores.
Plus who wants to sit on all the inventory it takes to stock these places.

All the brands everyone wants are going direct to consumer. People go in these places, see what they like, try them on with their nasty feet, put em back in the box all half-assed, then order the same shoes on AMZN Prime on their way to the parking lot.

Ahhh, DBI will buy out their inventory when they fold I guess. That's the better business model.
